HA HA, this thread has come full circle for me and several others. @trez63 has created a great video you should watch if you've ever wondered about leasing ANY vehicle. I doubt he mentions Plywood in it, but oh well............ Check it out if you don't want to read through all 20 pages.
OLD FIRST POST BELOW!
So i'm the type that looks at all options, and i looked at the jeep.com lease on a Wrangler JLU Sport with Auto trans...
HOLY CRAP, leases suck.
I think i read somewhere on here that only suckers pay money up front for a lease. Is this true?
Jeep wants $279 per month for 48 months (then you have to pay sales tax on each payment), plus $3499 "due at signing", plus a $395 disposition fee at end of lease.
That's like $18,000 for a vehicle you could buy for, $36k after discount and taxes.
I guess if you don't have the money, or are afraid to sell a car yourself a lease might make sense, but dang, pay 50% of the value of new in only 4 years.
Any other reason somebody should consider a lease on a Jeep vehicle that holds like 70-75% of its value after 3-4 years?
